HP Hewlett Packard Enterprise OfficeConnect 1420 16G Unmanaged L2 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) 1U Grey

The HP 1420 Switch Series consists of unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switches for small businesses and others looking for plug-and-play basic Layer 2 connectivity for their network including low-cost PoE+ and 10-Gigabit uplink models. The HP 1420 Switch Series has four models: 16-port 10/100/1000; 24-port 10/100/1000 with two SFP Gigabit ports; 24-port 10/100/1000 ports of which 12 are PoE+ enabled (124W PoE budget); and 24-port 10/100/1000 with two SFP+ 10-Gigabit ports.<br /><br />All are fanless. They come with a limited lifetime warranty and 24X7 phone support for the first three years of ownership.<br /><br /><b>Features</b><br /><b>High-performance GbE Layer 2 Switching Cost-effective and Easy to Deploy</b><br /><br />The HP 1420 Switch Series offers small businesses and others Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switching with unmanaged affordability and plug-and-play simplicity.<br /><br />Gigabit Ethernet is the most recommended and deployed networking technology today delivering 10x more performance than Fast Ethernet.<br /><br />Unmanaged switches are the most economical offerings ideal for locations needing only basic Layer 2 switching in a flat single tier network.<br /><br /><b>Model Choices to Meet Most Design Needs for Basic Layer 2 Networking</b><br /><br />The 1420 Switch Series has four models to choose from all with Gigabit performance but offering different uplink options. Consider the 16-port model for locations needing fewer connections and one of the 24-port models where more connectivity is required.<br /><br />The HP 1420-24G-2SFP model with SFP uplinks is ideal where Gigabit fiber is required while the HP 1420-24G-2SFP+ 10G Uplink model with SFP+ uplinks is available for where 10-Gigabit is needed now or in the future.<br /><br />Anticipate the installation of IP voice or wireless Access points or video surveillance cameras by deploying Power of Ethernet. Choose the PoE+ model for highly cost-effective Power over Ethernet deployments.<br /><br />All 1420 Switch Series models are fanless for silent operation usable in office settings around workers. Units have internal power supplies with power-cord plug-in simplicity.<br /><br />Units can be deployed for desktop operation or can be rack mounted.<br /><br /><b>Automated Features for Hands-off Operation</b><br /><br />All models are plug-and-play with zero configuration and no required ongoing administration.<br /><br />The HP 1420 Switch Series has the company's only unmanaged Power over Ethernet model with fully automated support for powering compatible IP phones video surveillance cameras or wireless Access Points.<br /><br />The HP 1420-24G-2SPF+ 10-Gigabit Uplink model requires no configuration beyond installation of optional 10-Gigabit transceivers to achieve 10-Gigabit speeds; alternatively use today with Gigabit SFP transceivers if highest performance merely a future requirement.<br /><br />IEEE 802.1p prioritization and other QoS features automate the preferred handling of high priority traffic including Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) set priorities.<br /><br />The Series supports Jumbo packets to improve the performance of large data transfers.<br /><br /><b>Cost-effective Ownership for Now and into the Future</b><br /><br />The HP 1420 Switch Series offers a cost-effective upgrade path to next-generation 10G networks to reduce performance bottlenecks when connecting to 10G storage and servers.<br /><br />The switch series includes Power over Ethernet (PoE+) options to power IP devices without the cost of additional cabling for power.<br /><br />Green features include energy-efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az auto-power down mode on idle ports and power savings on short distance cables for low power consumption.<br /><br />The HP Limited Lifetime Warranty 2.0 with 3 years of 24x7 phone support keep support costs low over time.
